By My Side
Bryan Kearney Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

People calling out my name
But I don't hear them
People next to me again
But I don't see them
When all I hear is doubt and fear
And all I see is you

All I see is you

So won't you be my ghost tonight
I will bring you back to life
Asking why can't we turn back time
I know you're here right by my side

To life
Right by my side

To life
Right by my side

To life
Right by my side

To life
Right by my side

To life
Right by my side

To life

So won't you be my ghost tonight
I will bring you back to life




Asking why can't we turn back time
I know you're here right by my side

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Bryan Kearney's song By My Side convey a feeling of detachment and isolation despite being in a crowded space. The singer mentions people calling out his name and being beside him, but he hears and sees nothing except for the one he's thinking of. The doubt and fear are present in his mind, but the person he's thinking of offers him solace and comfort.


The central theme of the song appears to be losing someone and trying to bring them back to life by thinking of them. The singer implores the ghost of the departed to come to him and reminds them that they are still by his side. The lyrics evoke a sense of longing and sadness, as though the singer is yearning for the presence of someone who is no longer there.


The chorus of the song, "So won't you be my ghost tonight, I will bring you back to life, asking why can't we turn back time, I know you're here right by my side," is a poignant reminder that even though someone may be gone, their memory can be kept alive by thinking of them and they can still be with us in spirit.

This is art, magic, transports you to another place, something I think that EDM can never do. This is why the trance differs from other subgenres of electronic music, is something special, and has been so for a long time and will continue, because this is not just a fad or a taste in common, is a passion for trance ...
EDM IS DEAD, VIVE LA TRANCE!!!!

Nour Nounou You know, on the one hand I understand that you say that because, you see that you do not bring electronic music listening or two years, any pseudo-fan of EDM says those words, you have no idea what the trance.

George Orwell Full 2016 and there are still people who believe that the trance is part of EDM, pathetic ....
